Overgrown lane in Clifton blocks access to garages and has become 'haven for rats'

A woman from Clifton has voiced her anger at 'eyesore' overgrowth blocking access to garages, one of which she rents from Nottingham City Homes (NCH). Susannah Lucas, 40, uses one of the garages down a lane off Summerwood Lane, where she lives.

The NCH tenant, who is a care worker based at Clifton View Nursing Home, pays around £6 per week to use the garage. She is barely able to get down the lane to access it herself, let alone drive a vehicle that's stored there. Susannah has her husband's father's 1987 Mk 1 Vauxhall Cavalier stored there.

It had previously been taken out for a spin but this has not been able to happen lately because of the rampant foliage. And with it being so overgrown, Susannah says there have been cases of fly tipping. She is keen for it to be cut back.
